Open-captioned movies

Open-described movies

I initially wrote:

Theoretically, open-described movies are possible (everybody in the theatre hears the descriptions), but I know of only two such screenings in the history of civilization. If it happens again, I’ll cover it.

Those two screenings were of My Left Foot and Stardom. Now, though, for some unknown reason The Passion of the Christ was described but not captioned. (Subtitles are sufficient for deaf people, right? Right?) But I refuse to watch what Roger Ebert called the most violent movie he’s ever seen.
